Help! 22weeks and NEED TO SLEEP

FTM (first time mom) here at 22 weeks and I cannot get a full nights sleep. Around 12a-2a every night (lay down at 9p) this ONE spot on my back always aches to the point of waking me up OR I go to readjust and my hip feels like it’s about to literally rip my leg off. My son loves sitting on my hips but I don’t know what to do to get through the night. Once I’m up, I can’t get comfortable again enough to go back to sleep so I end up tossing and turning.
I was always a good sleeper prior to pregnancy but I also use to sleep on my back.

*YES I did get a pregnancy pillow but it’s not helping the mid-night comfort crisis. And it makes me hot anyways

I heard you can take Tylenol for minor aches and pains if that’s what’s keeping you up. I don’t take anything I absolutely have to. I look like a fish out of water at night. As for lack of sleep that’s just a joy from pregnancy. For myself it gets worse as I go along. Baby number 4.
